Well, ideally every system on campus, which is probably well over 10,000
aggregate, but I only really care about servers. Even of those, probably
less than 20 or so need *really* accurate time.
Right now, almost everything is pointed at one of the Stratum 1 servers.
Not very robust should that die.
Broadcast/multicast? Probably not as we'll be moving the appliances to an
administrative network at some point. Could do multicast from the Stratum
2 systems, though.
